This will give a direct route to Tijuana without interference of street railways. The final project recommended is a connection between the foot of 6th street grade to Mission Valley and the mesa on the north side of the valley.
In my report on a comprehensive plan for San Diego, prepared in , attention was drawn to the fact that in a city like San Diego, stretching for more than 20 miles up and down the coast, with an almost infinite variety of scenery, no single park, even though it be as large and attractive as Balboa park, is sufficient.
A system of parks in unquestionably demanded. Such a system should include characteristic parks in every part of the city and in the territory adjacent therein. In any case, for the sake of the park itself, the whole of the area should be studied and planned at this time, as it now being done under the direction of the board of park commissioners.
These are arranged so as to give circuits of parkways around the city, and also to connect the various parklike public areas. Turning from the parks of the system to the harbor development, Noel declared that its comprehensive planning is one of the chief contributions that city planning can make to the prosperity of San Diego. The harbor drive is an instance of the unique opportunity San Diego has. He outlined again the various waterfront zones and the influence they will have on the territory immediately behind them.
He recommended a battery park at the foot of Market street, both to provide a beautiful municipal waterfront park and to mark the north boundary of industrial waterfront.
Development of a municipal airport with unexcelled facilities for land and sea planes, the parking of a large island in front of the marine base and training station to add to the beauty of the waterfront and the sightliness of the government projects also were described in detail and indicated on the various maps. The creation of a civic center just north of the present new municipal pier was urged enthusiastically.
Nolen pointed out how imposing and inspiring much a city portal could be made. Later in his remarks he declared that one of the things that San Diego needs more than anything else is a civic center. The lack of such a center, he said, is one of the most potent factors in the lack of civic unity with which San Diego is often charged. He concluded his consideration of the harbor with a description of the beauties of Point Loma and the view from the end of the point.
His final recommendation was for the safeguarding of all new development by a rigid supervision of plats for subdivisions. The difficulties the city now has, he said, are a permanent handicap that never can be overcome. But in the future the city can and must see that developments are in proper accord with the general plan and with the normal demands for a proper relation of all the parts of the city to the whole.
Asked regarding the relative importance of the various phases of development of the plan, Nolen said that the plan as a whole should be worked out as fast as possible, not developed by completing any one of the parts first. But he said that the first and most important step is the acquisition of vacant lands which will be needed in the future. They can be secured cheaply now, he said, while later it may not be possible to acquire them at all.
The second step he urged is the development of the waterfront program. He declared that the realization of the waterfront development will bring a revolution to the life of the city. February 8, , San Diego Union, Morris, editor of Marshalltown, Iowa, Times, favors park college site. Scouts plan big jamboree at Indian Village Saturday; everything in readiness for demonstration; public invited to attend.
February 9, , San Diego Union, Marston to give acre tract to City; Presidio Hill to be name of new park; land to be developed by donor under beautification plan of John Nolen; announcement made at a meeting of members of the civic committee of the San Diego Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon. A sub-committee, to be headed by Julius Wangenheim, was appointed by Chairman Davidson to investigate the possibilities of the suggested bay front civic center, insofar as property values are concerned.
Another item taken under consideration of the committee was the proposal of its chairman that the upper Point Loma boulevard from the Fort Rosecrans gate to the Old Spanish Lighthouse be paved in the near future and its cost be paid by the levying of tolls.
Once more Mr. Nolen emphasized the importance of waterfront development as a spur to the complete development of the city according to the proposed plan. That he struck a popular note and that waterfront development should prove a popular project in San Diego was evident from the applause that greeted his first mention of the bay front drive which he declared would be one of the most beautiful in all of the world.
Nolen reiterated that San Diego is not one of the cities with great potentialities, but is actually the one city in the United States which has the greatest potentialities for an unexcelled development along the lines — harbor and waterfront development — of both commercial and esthetic types , parks thoroughfares, economic city development for business and for municipal beauty.
He emphasized the fact that San Diego must take advantage of its opportunity to become an individually beautified and a beautifully individualized city, that it must continue its planning out into its natural region, including both the back country and the whole bay district. San Diego early turned its back on the water, he said, and has not yet turned around to face its greatest asset, commercially, recreationally and esthetically.
He scored the persons who would involve the city in a local conflict over smokestacks or geraniums, declaring that San Diego not only may but should have both in their proper places. Proper location of both the smokestacks and geraniums will stabilize all property values for both the homeowner and the owner of business property, he said. Cities and individuals alike, he said, grow irregularly. Both have periods when they can grow more rapidly and make use of certain impetus and enthusiasm.
He believes that San Diego has reached that stage of crisis, when the people are aroused to grow reasonably and to take advantage of opportunities for planned development which never will come again.
He reminded the people that the city is under inspection and will be judged not by what it may do with its opportunities, but by what it actually does do with them, by the results it gets. The address was illustrated with a number of lantern slides showing examples of the typical individualized city development of which several cities have taken advantage, of maps of the plan of San Diego, and of maps showing what other cities are actually doing in planning their development to the end that the city may be the best and most comfortable place to live economically, commercially and domestically.
He showed how proper planning is an economy by preventing the installation of improvements that will have to be torn out to make way for better arranged improvements, and he showed pictures of communities that are doing their planning early. Nolen was ably seconded by Hugh R. Nolen last night. He was introduced following Mr. You will do well to follow Mr. We are being forced to spend millions on that development in Los Angeles county today, because we neglected our waterfront in the days when we had to opportunity to do so cheaply.
If this plan is allowed to lapse into a hazy commonplace some of these requests will be granted; and, sooner or later, somebody will put a fish cannery in the park or a brewery — near beer, of course — on the esplanade.
February 10, , San Diego Union, Park college site argued at Kiwanis Club meeting yesterday; Fred E. Lindley for and George W. Marston against. Lindley, in advocating the placing of the college in the park stressed the fact that location is a vital factor to a college. He pointed out that the proposed site would be accessible to automobiles and street cars and that a great many students could live within walking distance of that site.
He also declared that the fact that Balboa park has an interesting museum would be an asset to a college placed in the park. Marston told of the action of the city trustees 60 years ago in which the ground now known as Balboa park was set aside for park purposes.
In his remarks Mr. Marston made a strong plea for keeping a part of the park in its natural state. He showed that San Diego must protect and conserve its wild land; that California in the future will be so developed that it would be a shame not to preserve this land. I am sorry for the man who does not know something of the wild flowers and of nature. February 11, , San Diego Union, City Council to act soon on ordinance prohibiting heavy vehicles in Balboa Park.

Mossholder wants State College in Balboa Park. The present tendency is to make the public park more and more a place of intellectual recreation and information rather than a place of amusement.
That is, the amusement feature is being overshadowed by the former. Now, what is more fitting to carry out the idea of a park being an intellectual recreation center than to have a branch of the great institution of learning occupy a part of the park? I call attention to the further fact that the buildings will occupy only a small part of the ground that will be donated. If placed outside the park, or away from the city, dormitories will have to be built and experience has demonstrated the fact that immorality thrives where people are thrown in close contact as they are in dormitories.

February 27, , San Diego Union, , At the meeting yesterday, Dr. Hardy, president of State College, presented a map which located the proposed sites and also showed the residences of the San Diego students attending the college, so that the committee can consider the new site in its relation to the density of the collegiate population. In , the president of the College prepared a building plan and program for the development on the present site of the State Teachers College of San Diego.
This plan was submitted with the institutional budget for the period to that state director of education, and received his general approval. Those items of the program which called for appropriations in were duly presented to the budgetary authorities of the state law in , but received no consideration because of the policy of economy enforced in that year under the new budget established by vote of the people of the state.
Undoubtedly it was fortunate that the building program of was sidetracked by the financial policy of that year, for, in , only two years later, it was clearly seen that the growth of the college demanded more land, far beyond the amount in the campus and in any neighborhood additions that could be made to the campus. For in ten years, to , the enrollment of the college had increased percent.
In the period , it has doubled. In the current year, , enrollment will exceed When it is remembered that the present campus contains only 17 acres of land, that expansion of the campus is impossible, and that 60? Why then, say some, should not the state, the great rich state of California, provide the college with an adequate site?
Unfortunately for those who make this demand, the fact is that the state of California always has referred, with rare exceptions, and always will refer, without any doubt in the future, the provision of the site for an educational institution to the community in which it is placed. Witness the very recent re-location of the University of California, southern branch, on a site of several hundred acres provided by the citizens of Los Angeles, and the eager competition of half a dozen communities, among them San Diego with an offer of several thousand acres, to secure the institution by generous gifts of land.
As a matter of fact, now that San Diego has reached a crisis in the development of her collegiate future a situation very well understood at Sacramento the city stands a very good chance to lose the greater college proposed, either in whole or in part, if there is any serious thought of asking that state to provide a site, of if there is any failure on the part of San Diego to carry out these representations made at Sacramento in on the basis of which the California legislature and the governor of the state gave us the legislation for a greater San Diego State College.
The meaning of that legislation, which was urged by practically every responsible official and civic individual and organization in San Diego, and to the carrying out of which every such individual and body implicitly gave his pledge of support, is simply this: that the state of California will undertake the establishment and maintenance of a regional college in San Diego — an institution which will be of inestimable value to the community — if San Diego will meet two conditions.
First, San Diego must provide an adequate site. Second, San Diego should show good faith and to recompense the state for its investment on the present site, purchase that site and the buildings on it at such figure as will enable the state to start out on the new site with housing facilities equal to those which it now has.
This constitutes an opportunity for San Diego that is so great and involves civic problems that are relatively so simple, that it is fairly amazing that the main issues should now be jeopardized by the secondary issue of the site and by threats that the bond issue, which will represent a small initial investment made by San Diego for which she will secure a great and growing enterprise, will be defeated by any group that does not have its way as to the selection of the site.
It must not be forgotten that the college is not a local, but is a state institution. The community, therefore, cannot be, and much less can any minority in the community, be the dictator in this matter of site. The problem of the community is to offer a site which the state can accept as reasonably adequate for the functions of the college as a state institution. Second, since the California standard for the preparation of teachers necessitates a liberal arts foundation for the professional preparation of teachers, to maintain regular liberal arts curricula of two, three or four-year types.
To put in the other way round, California has decided that the teacher should have the same collegiate preparation for his or her professional training as the lawyer, the doctor or the engineer. But it offers these opportunities as a state and not as a local college. The benefits are available locally, but they are not, and cannot be, locally controlled. Does San Diego want these benefits?
That is beyond question. But the conditions upon which these benefits may be secured have temporarily been lost sight of in the heat of the controversy that has arisen over the secondary issue of the location of these benefits.
They should be located at the central point of the city with reference to transportation and population, and that central point is clearly Balboa park, say the many proponents of the park as the site par excellence for the college. The argument is very plausible, and has been made very appealing, but it proves too much.
For the very same argument has been used, and just as legitimately and with the result that they are now in the park for the location in Balboa park of the following institutions:. For institutions that are not yet in the park, the argument has been used for the following, which is probably an incomplete list:.
Clearly they are: First, that the functions and institutions should be city functions and institutions; therefore, they should not be state and they should not be federal institutions and functions. Because of this principle, the placing in Balboa Park of the U. Naval Hospital undoubtedly was a mistake — no so much of a mistake as the place there of the Marine Base and Naval Training Center would have been, since the area required by the hospital is relatively small, but a mistake, nevertheless, Fortunately, it was a mistake that has not entailed serious consequences and it serves as a valuable lesson.
The park belongs to the city of San Diego. Is it not, therefore, the duty of all good citizens of San Diego to remember the purpose of this dedication, to hold fast to the principle and to resist all plans, however plausible, which would lead them to alienate any part of their park, or wrest it from its proper function? Functionally speaking, there is not doubt as to what the park is for. There it lies, midway between the commercial and industrial San Diego and the San Diego of homes, schools and churches — its manifest destiny that of being itself a mediating home of the recreational and cultural soul of San Diego.
To this end the park should contain a building like the new Fine Arts Gallery to house a musical conservatory which will serve the musical needs of the city as the Fine Arts Gallery serves the artistic needs of the city in pictorial art. It should also contain a lecture hall or auditorium which would be of civic service for public lectures and for extension work of the state college and the state university in taking advantages to the public not usually considered of school of college age.
So much is so that when it is realized — then the shrine of San Diego will be placed in Balboa Park. There it is that our mystic citizen should have a place to stand. Around him, then, let us group our memorials, and gather for our festivals, every keeping room for the more numerous and more needful citizens who are yet to come and for whom the living must not forget to speak.
We must remember, too, that we are of the nation and of the state as well as of the city, in all of this planing. As nationals, we have had a pretty clear vision, remembering that Uncle Sam visits us usually be water, and we have made him welcome with large and generous gifts and gestures by bay, shore and ocean front.
We come now to the question of the proper placement in San Diego of the functions and institutions of the state of California. The question of the location of the state college has become a vexed question because a large group of us have become so habituated to the thought of the institution in San Diego that we think of it as of San Diego rather than of the state of California.
As the college is, institutionally speaking, almost the sole representative of the state in San Diego, its location can and must be considered from the point of view of its function, which is educational in a state and not in a local sense. While it functions for the state in a regional way, the region which it serves and always must serve is large than the city of San Diego. While it is here, in the main, to give educational service to San Diego, yet its proper territory extends roughly from the Mexican line to San Juan Capistrano and from the Pacific to the Colorado river.
As a junior college, it gives and should continue to give collegiate opportunity to the youth of the whole of San Diego County, and, as a prospective four-year college which it will be if we do not lose the present propitious moment by a juvenile quarrel over the site it must be the college for the larger area, which it now serves in its teacher-training capacity.
Clearly then, in thinking of the college, the people of San Diego, while not forgetting that they receive the major portion of its benefits and at practically no local expense whatever, must have a vision of it and its reach not limited to the boundaries of the city of San Diego.
Conceived I this way, then, is it not inevitable that the college cannot go and should not go into Balboa Park, an area that is civic and should be kept inevitably civic — not state and not federal? From this, the necessary and only correct point of view, many of the arguments that are used for putting the college into the park are really the strongest possible arguments against putting in into the park.
It is urged, for instance, that state buildings in the park would beautify the park. That very argument would be turned against use at Sacramento. Again, it is urged that the state would relieve the city of the expense and improvement and upkeep of a considerable area in the park. Those who know how difficult it is to get any money whatever from the state for the improvement of land which, though occupied by the state, the state regards as essentially a local benefit, realize only too well that the state, if it followed its tradition, would expect the city to put in the improvements.
Again, legislators from other cities would not be interested in making appropriations for a city park. Finally, there comes the really vexing question of jurisdiction. Some misunderstandings and questions of jurisdiction would be inevitable, and it would be unfortunate, to say the least, if it ever should become necessary, as conceivably it might be, to make it clear where jurisdiction began and ended by the building about the college part of the park of a high metal fence.
A city park is not the proper site of a state college. A state college should serve the city, not add to its problems, and colleges go, not where their problems may be complicated, but where they will be simplified. What then shall San Diego do if it wishes to keep the college? Surely it will keep the college unless it is so unwise as to refuse a gift and reject a benefit! The problem cannot be solved by doing nothing. The do-nothing policy echoes of which have been heard simply would result in leaving the whole issue stranded on the impossibly small island of the present site.
Upon that area, at best an isolated teacher-training institution, not a college, can be maintained. If San Diego wants the college, San Diego will go bravely on, not faltering in carrying out the policy which was so unitedly envisioned by her citizens in January , when city officials, school officials, civic bodies and citizens generally stood as one man back of our representatives in the California legislature in their successful efforts to pass the college bill.
San Diego, for moral reasons alone, simply must not fail to carry out in good faith, the well-understood provisions of that bill, all of which turn upon the vital point of an adequate site — a site for a state college. The Fine Arts Gallery carries on a tradition that began at the Organ Pavilion with its daily ministration of beautiful things. Or perhaps the tradition took foot in our park long before there was any Organ Pavilion there, or any lawns and trees — when the vista of hill and canyon and the sea beyond stirred some men to that inspiration that comes from nature.
February 27, , San Diego Union, Appleton S. Bridges before the gallery and its art treasures are thrown open to the public this afternoon. It was an important event in the cultural life of the city, the greatest stride forward in the history of San Diego as an art center. No part of the gallery was neglected, though the galleries devoted to the fine examples of ancient Spanish painting and examples of early Spanish decoration seemed to be particularly popular.
During the evening Mr. Bridges appeared on the grand staircase and introduced to the gallery, Reginald Poland, who spoke briefly in welcome of the visitors, in appreciation of the gift of the gallery, and in explanation of the plan of the inaugural exhibition and some of its outstanding masterpieces. In welcoming the people to the gallery, Mr. Poland expressed the hope that its beauty and its perfection will be an inspiration but not at the expense of a friendly feeling for the building and its treasures.
Often, he said, pure beauty, such as in embodied in the gallery, so dominates visitors that they fail to enjoy it with informal pleasure. It is, he said, the realization of an ideal for San Diego, and as such should be loved by every person interested in the artistic progress of the city.
He then outlined the ideal of the first exhibition, its attempt to stress Spanish and American art and the examples of the art of other nations that have contributed most importantly to the art of these two nations. He took the visitors through an imaginary tour of the galleries, calling attention to first one and then another example of art typical of the period, the artist, or the artistic influences of a period or a people.
He called especial attention to the Mestrovic sculptures, quoting Rodin that Mestrovic is the greatest living sculptor. He himself expressed the opinion that the Mestrovic drawings are as fine as any drawings ever made. He told of the modern works of France, Spain, England and the United States and the spirit which had animated the particular artists whose works were on exhibition.
He called attention to the modern Spanish groups and expressed the highest regard for the examples on display. He concluded with a plea that the people of San Diego should enjoy the beneficence of Mr. Bridges and the artistic genius of the architects, William Templeton Johnson and Robert Snyder; that they should help others to enjoy it by joining the Fine Arts Society, which is sponsoring and directing the functions of the gallery.
He expressed especial gratitude to the donors of several collections of sculptures and paintings and for the cooperation and generosity of individuals and museums that have loaned numerous paintings and sculptures for this first exhibition. In the receiving line were Mr. Bridges, Mr. Dorland, Mr. Davidson, W. Sallmon, Reginald Poland and Thomas Drummond.
The keys of the building will be turned over to the city by Mr. Johnson will tell about the building itself and will pay tribute to the men who actually built it. Director Poland will speak briefly on the opportunity the gallery means to San Diego. Following the ceremonies, the building will be thrown open to the public, and it will be open free of charge daily except Mondays from 9 a.

He showed a specimen of this remarkably marked monkey and gave the children a charming story of its habits. This animal is a little larger than the Rocky mountain gray squirrel. It is easily tamed and becomes quite affectionate. He warned the children against giving monkeys chewing gum, as they swallow the gum and it frequently causes their death.
He exploded one popular impression. He said monkeys are very cleanly and very rarely have fleas. A flea would have small chance for its life against their sharp eyes and nimble fingers. Raymenton, director of the institute, demonstrated by means of the compound microscope the evolution of hair. He showed the scales of fish and reptiles, the feathers of birds and the curious and characteristic markings on the hair of various animals.
The apparently fine dust o the wings of butterflies and moths was shown to resemble the shingles of a house. Jack von Bloeker, president of the Junior Zoological society, showed some 60 lantern slides on the silver screen. These slides are made by the boys and girls and represent birds, beasts, insects and reptiles.
Many of the slides are painted, showing the natural colorization of the animals. Paul F. Covel, curator in chief of birds and mammals, presented a paper giving an account of an expedition for scientific research to La Puerte valley. He was accompanied by Jack von Ribeker, director of the Junior zoo museum, and Samuel Harter, curator of birds. They were entertained in the valley for one week by Frank Stephens, dean of the naturalists of the San Diego Natural history society, on his ranch.
Seven mammals were collected, of which five were made into study skins, two of which were mounted by the director of the museum. Eighteen birds were collected, all of which were made into study skins.. One reptile preserved in alcohol and insects collected for the museum.
This is one of several expeditions that have been made to valley, mountain, mesa and seashore by the curators of the various departments of the Junior Zoo museum.

Now that the danger of ceding a part of Balboa Park for the State College grounds seems to have blown over, it is timely to consider some of the problems of future park improvement. That we have a tremendous asset in our centrally situated fourteen hundred acres of park land is acknowledged by all who visit San Diego.
Probably no other city in the country has such a glorious opportunity to build a beautiful and useful center.
The work done in preparation for the Exposition of has made the western portion of Balboa park one of the beauty spots of America. The magnificent combination of art and nature, of architecture and landscaping, attract all lovers of beauty; and the varied attractions of the park: the organ, the zoo, the art gallery, the various museums, the rose garden and the other special or seasonal gardens make even the most hurried florist feel that the park is the one thing in the city that cannot be missed.
There are, in the easterly portion, several hundred acres of almost undeveloped land, and it is opportune to make the plans for their future development now. Some day the funds will be available for doing the work, and in the meanwhile there will be far less temptation for and less probability of outside interests securing portions of park land. Too much has already been alienated from strictly park purposes; and if an accounting can be made of the requirements for the future developments, the danger of further encroachments will be lessened.
It is the purpose of this article to call attention to certain improvements which the writer feels would be of special advantage to the park and its public.
These suggestions are not original with him, but seem to be of sufficient worth to justify the Floral Association presenting them to the Park Board with the request that they be considered in the plans for the further development of Balboa Park.
